[PATCH v4 5/6] mm: secretmem: use PMD-size pages to amortize direct map fragmentation

From: Mike Rapoport
Date: Tue Aug 18 2020 - 10:17:34 EST


From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Removing a PAGE_SIZE page from the direct map every time such page is
allocated for a secret memory mapping will cause severe fragmentation of
the direct map. This fragmentation can be reduced by using PMD-size pages
as a pool for small pages for secret memory mappings.

Add a gen_pool per secretmem inode and lazily populate this pool with
PMD-size pages.
